Re: [MOSAIC] Bibliotherapy for Transitions
A Meghan, You will love your next class just as much:) I would be interested in transition book bibliotherapy since these books might also also help military families.

Re: [MOSAIC] Bibliotherapy for Transitions
I did a long term sub and promised the kids I would come back at the end of the year.

Re: [MOSAIC] Writing Punctuation
Using a rubric for them to self check their drafts and then have peer editing also. Writing conferences are a way for them to learn. When my first graders forgot their punctuation, I would have them fix it while they were in a writing conference with me. Maybe you could do a mini lesson with a paragraph with no periods and have them put them in as a whole group. You could go on a detective missing periods hunt and make it a competition. I'm sure 4th grade would love that! Give them many opportunities for free writing, such as journals even if it is for homework and then have them fix each others work. Remind them true writing is a process. -Original Message- From: Lori D To: mosaic Sent: Sat, Dec 8, 2012 8:33 pm Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] Writing Punctuation Real aloud Punctuation Takes a Vacation. Model how to insert punctuation correctly on an overhead projector or document camera with a colorful marker (preferably not red). When it's time for a period, have them make put out their pointer finger like they are popping a bubble and have them say "pop". It is auditory, visual and kinesthetic. Eventually, give them "thinking markers" - flair pens for them to insert their punctuation... let the writing begin!Lori > From: cadeteve...@hotmail.com > Date: Sat, 8 Dec 2012 15:58:57 -0600 > To: mosaic@literacyworkshop.org > Subject: [MOSAIC] Writing Punctuation > > My 4th grade students are not ending their sentences with a period. It's like they don't know when a sentence ends. This is my first year teaching writing. I honestly don't know how to help them recognize when to add a period. Any ideas would be appreciated. In few months they will be composing two pieces of writing for the state exam. It is a desperate situation.
